The PXN V9 Gen2 is a 900 degree racing wheel with a full three-pedal Hall sensor set and a 6+R shifter in the box, at a price where most wheels give you two pedals and no shifter. Before anything else on this page: PXN does not list PS5 among the supported platforms, our own product title previously said it did, and we have corrected that. The full explanation is the first section below.

PXN does not list PS5 support for the PXN V9 Gen2, and we have corrected our own title
This is the most important thing on the page, so it goes first. PXN publishes the compatible platform list for this wheel as PC on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS3, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. That is six platforms, which is where the 6-in-1 description comes from. PS5 is not one of them, on PXN own product pages or in its official FAQ.
Our product title used to say PS5. It was wrong, we found it while checking every figure on this page against PXN documentation, and we have changed it. We are telling you rather than quietly editing it, because a page that only ever shows you good news is not a page worth trusting.
If you own a PS5 and you were buying the PXN V9 Gen2 for it, do not order this wheel expecting it to work. We are not going to tell you it probably will, and we are not going to point you at forum posts. PXN does not claim PS5 support, so neither do we.
Everything else on this page is verified against the same documentation. If you are on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X or S, PS4, PS3 or Switch, read on, because for the money this is a lot of wheel.
The PXN V9 Gen2 includes three Hall sensor pedals and a 6+R shifter
This is the reason the wheel exists at this price. In the box you get the wheel, a three-pedal set using Hall magnetic induction linear sensors, and a separate 6+R gear shifter. Most wheels near this price give you two pedals, no clutch and no shifter at all.
Hall magnetic induction matters more than it sounds. A potentiometer pedal, which is what cheap wheels use, works by a wiper dragging along a resistive track. It wears, and after a year it develops dead spots and jitter exactly where you brake most. A Hall sensor reads a magnetic field with nothing touching anything, so there is no wear surface. Linear means the output tracks the pedal travel proportionally rather than in steps.
The clutch pedal plus the 6+R shifter is what lets you actually drive a manual car in a simulator instead of pulling paddles. For rally and classic car sims this is the difference between the game being fun and the game being a menu.
The shifter also has two independent buttons which PXN states can be set as a handbrake and as a high and low gear range switch. On the PXN V9 Gen2 that gives you a handbrake without buying one.
The PXN V9 Gen2 vibration works in one mode and not the other, which nobody explains
This is the second thing PXN documents and almost nobody repeats. The wheel runs in two modes, and which one you are in decides both what works and what you feel.
Controller Mode, which is Xinput, presents the wheel to the console or PC as if it were a normal gamepad. PXN states that on Xbox and PS4 consoles Controller Mode has vibration feedback. It also states there is no feedback in Xinput mode on PC.
Wheel Mode, which is Dinput, is the one that supports the shifter, and PXN states plainly that Wheel Mode does not support vibration feedback. For the shifter to work at all, the game itself has to support steering wheel input.
Read that together and the trade-off is clear: on a console you can have vibration or you can have the shifter, not both at once. PXN handles the switch automatically based on whether the shifter is plugged in, so you are not hunting through menus, but you are choosing.
We call this adaptive vibration feedback because that is what PXN calls it. It is not force feedback. There is no motor pushing the wheel back at you the way a belt or direct drive wheel does. If you have driven a force feedback wheel and you are expecting that here, the PXN V9 Gen2 is not that class of product and no wheel at this price is.
Rotation, wheel size and build on the PXN V9 Gen2
Rotation is switchable between 900 and 270 degrees. 900 degrees is roughly two and a half turns lock to lock, which is what a real road car does and what a sim like Assetto Corsa or Dirt Rally expects. 270 degrees is a quarter turn each way, which suits arcade racers and anything where you want the car to respond instantly without moving your hands.
Having both is the point. A 270-only wheel feels twitchy in a simulator, and a 900-only wheel feels slow in an arcade game. The PXN V9 Gen2 switches between them.
The wheel itself is 11 inches, which is 280 mm. That is close to a real car wheel and considerably larger than the small rims on entry level products. A larger wheel gives you more precision for the same wrist movement, simply because the rim travels further for the same angle.
Total weight is 3.28 kg. The set mounts with the included clamps, and at that weight the clamps matter, because a wheel that shifts on the desk under braking ruins everything else about it.
The Nintendo Switch limitation on the PXN V9 Gen2 you should know about
PXN documents this in its own FAQ and we would rather you read it here than discover it. The heading in PXN FAQ is about the pedal being unresponsive when playing games other than Mario Kart on Nintendo Switch.
PXN explanation is that on Switch, outside Mario Kart, the pedal can only simulate one default acceleration option. In plain terms: the Switch does not expose proper racing wheel input to most games, so the wheel is presenting itself as a controller, and a controller has a button for accelerate rather than an analogue pedal.
If Mario Kart on Switch is the main reason you want a wheel, the smaller HORI Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini is built around that game and plugs straight into the Switch dock.
If Mario Kart is what you are buying it for, that is the one Switch game where it works as intended, and it works well. If you wanted to play other Switch racing games with progressive throttle, the PXN V9 Gen2 will not give you that, and neither will any other wheel, because the limitation is in how those games read input rather than in the hardware.
This is exactly the kind of thing that turns into a return, so we are putting it on the page instead.
Connections and what comes in the PXN V9 Gen2 box
PXN lists the box contents as the V9 Gen2 wheel, the Hall pedal set, the 6+R shifter, the steering wheel fixed clamps, a Type-C to USB-A cable, a Micro-USB to USB-A cable, and the user manual.
Two cables because the wheel and the shifter connect separately. Everything you need to run the set is included, which is not true of every wheel in this bracket.
On consoles, PXN states the system recognises which mode to use automatically depending on whether the shifter is plugged in, so there is no switch to flip and no driver to install. On PC, Xinput is the default for games and Dinput is the mode that gives you the shifter, which means for a serious sim on PC you want Dinput.
Everything on this page is what PXN publishes about the PXN V9 Gen2. Where its documentation is silent, such as pedal travel in millimetres or the exact vibration motor used, we have left it out rather than fill the gap with a number from somewhere else.
Who the PXN V9 Gen2 is not for
Not for PS5 owners. PXN does not list PS5 among the supported platforms for this wheel, and we are not going to imply otherwise.
Not for anyone who wants real force feedback. This is adaptive vibration, not a motor pushing the wheel back at you. Belt driven and direct drive wheels do that and they cost several times as much.
Not for anyone who wants vibration and the shifter working at the same time on a console. Vibration lives in Controller Mode and the shifter lives in Wheel Mode.
Not for Switch racing games other than Mario Kart, if progressive throttle matters to you. PXN documents that the pedal simulates one default acceleration option outside Mario Kart.
Not for a small desk with nowhere to clamp. The PXN V9 Gen2 is a 3.28 kg set with an 11 inch wheel, a three-pedal plate on the floor and a shifter that also needs somewhere to sit.
Not for a game that does not support steering wheel input at all. The shifter only works when the game reads wheel input, and that is a game limitation rather than a wheel one.
And not for anyone expecting published pedal travel figures or motor specifications, because PXN does not publish them.
Buying the PXN V9 Gen2 in the UAE
For what a wheel, three Hall sensor pedals and a 6+R shifter usually cost separately, this set is unusually complete. Sim racing is an expensive hobby to start, and the PXN V9 Gen2 is one of the few honest entry points that does not force you to buy a shifter and a clutch later.
What you are trading away against a more expensive wheel is real force feedback. What you are keeping is 900 degrees of rotation, an 11 inch rim, Hall sensor pedals that will not develop dead spots, and a proper gear lever.
We ship across the Emirates including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman from locally held stock, so delivery takes days. Units are genuine PXN retail items in sealed packaging.
Warranty is one year from Totot against manufacturing defects. The PXN V9 Gen2 product title carries no TDRA registration, so no separate agent warranty applies to it, and we prefer to state that plainly rather than let you assume coverage that does not exist. Our 14-day return policy covers defective or non-conforming items.

FAQ
Does the PXN V9 Gen2 work on PS5?
No. PXN lists the supported platforms as PC on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS3, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. PS5 is not among them on PXN product pages or in its official FAQ. Our own product title previously said PS5 and we have corrected it.
What are the six platforms in 6-in-1?
PC on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS3, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. That is the list PXN publishes.
Is this force feedback?
No, it is adaptive vibration feedback. There is no motor pushing the wheel back against your hands the way a belt driven or direct drive wheel does. Wheels that do that cost several times as much.
Why does the vibration stop when I plug in the shifter?
Because plugging in the shifter switches the wheel into Wheel Mode, which is Dinput, and PXN states that Wheel Mode does not support vibration feedback. Vibration lives in Controller Mode, which is Xinput. On a console you get one or the other, and the wheel switches automatically.
Does the pedal work on Nintendo Switch?
Properly in Mario Kart, yes. PXN documents that in other Switch games the pedal can only simulate one default acceleration option, because those games read controller input rather than steering wheel input.
How many degrees does the wheel turn?
900 or 270, switchable. 900 degrees is about two and a half turns lock to lock, which suits simulators. 270 is a quarter turn each way, which suits arcade racers.
Does the clutch and shifter come in the box?
Yes. The PXN V9 Gen2 includes a three-pedal Hall sensor set with a clutch and a separate 6+R shifter, plus clamps and both cables. Nothing else needs buying to run the set.
What warranty comes with it?
One year from Totot against manufacturing defects. The product title carries no TDRA registration, so no separate agent warranty applies, and we say so rather than let you assume coverage that is not there.
Browse more in our Gaming Steering Wheels range. Every order from Totot carries a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, with our 14-day return policy for defective or non-compliant items, and nationwide UAE delivery.
